From a Certain Point of View: The Prequel Trilogy

So I recently wrote abouthow much I enjoyed the book From a Certain Point of View, a novel celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of A New Hope, containing 40 short stories showing the events of the movie from the point of view of other characters. I really enjoyed the book and hope that we get these for the other movies as we reach their anniversaries, but who could feature in those stories?

Palpatine – Queen Amidala’s decision to return to Naboo appeared to be the one thing he wasn’t expecting during the movie, I would love to know his internal thoughts at that moment and how he adapted his scheming to this

Darth Maul

Captain Tarpals

TC-14

Ric Olié

Captain Panaka

Sabé – an internal monologue of her thoughts when acting as Queen Amidala could be great to see

Sio Bibble

Yoda

Mace Windu

Chancellor Valorum

Count Dooku – a moment to see Dooku’s reaction to news of his former padawan’s death would be nice and could tie in towards his journey to the dark side

Sebulba

Watto

Shmi Skywalker

Boss Nass

Quinlan Vos – the character of Quinlan Vos was initially just an extra in the background of a scene where Sebulba attacks Jar Jar, but due to fan interest he became a fleshed out character. A story could tell us the reason why he was on Tatooine

Aurra Sing – this would be a chance to explain Aurra’s presence at the podrace

The Tusken Raiders shooting at the podracers

Attack of the Clones

Cordé

Captain Typho

Dormé

Zam Wesell

Boba Fett – Fett’s initial reaction to his father’s death could be an interesting read, The Clone Wars TV series shows he wants revenge against Mace Windu for killing Jango

Palpatine

Kit Fisto

Coleman Trebor – the heroic/stupid (delete as appropriate) Jedi who tries to take on Dooku and Jango alone

The man who marries Anakin and Padmé

Shmi Skywalker

Owen Lars

Cliegg Lars

Beru Whitesun

One of the Tusken tribe that Anakin slaughters

Bail Organa

Mas Amedda

Yoda

Mace Windu

Ahsoka Tano/Caleb Dume – either of these could tell a similar story of their time before becoming padawans to Anakin Skywalker or Depa Billaba respectively. Dave Filoni has mentioned that they had met as younglings and done some saber training together at the Jedi Temple

Rex

Revenge of the Sith

Order 66 – this could be shown from the point of view of so many characters, both the Jedi and the clones. Thinking about the possibilities for a clone perspective of Order 66, I can’t stop thinking of the voice-overs during the story mode of the original Star Wars Battlefront 2 game

Cin Drallig

The Grand Inquisitor – originally a Jedi Temple Guard, we could see the moment where he and some of his fellow inquisitors turn against the Jedi during the attack on the Jedi Temple

Zett Jukassa

Commander Appo – or any other members of the 501st still surviving from the Clone Wars as they stormed the Jedi Temple

Commander Cody – I would love to see his thoughts during the Battle of Utapau and the beginning of Order 66

Chewbacca

Captain Antilles

Breha Organa

Owen & Beru Lars

Count Dooku

The Polis Massa medical droid

Mas Amedda

Tarkin

Wullf Yularen – after years of serving alongside Anakin Skywalker, I’d love to see his thoughts as the Jedi are declared traitors and the Republic becomes the Empire

Queen Apailana

Who would you like to see? Thanks for reading and May the Force be with you…
